Brief Summary

Investigators are interested in learning how appetite responds to pasta containing different amounts of protein and fiber when provided in two different portion sizes. In this research study, subjects will be asked to eat an entire pasta serving containing different amounts of protein and fiber mixtures. Subjects will be asked to do this on six separate occasions. One time subjects will not receive pasta, only water. After the pasta serving, there will be a buffet of deli style lunch items and subjects may eat as much they desire. Thereafter subjects will describe their feelings of hunger, fullness and desire to eat for 3 hours. In addition, blood will be taken throughout the study period to determine how eating pasta servings in different portion sizes impacts certain hormones released from the intestine, and therefore how they influence appetite. All study visits will take approximately 4 ½ - 5 hours.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To investigate the effect of pasta formulations and portion size incorporated into a lunch meal on satiety (inhibition of further eating) as determined by subsequent second meal intake along with subjective responses on visual analog scales

    Meals will be provided 4 1/2 hours after a standardized breakfast and subjects must eat the entire pasta serving. After the pasta serving, a buffet lunch will be served and subjects may eat as much as desired. Immediately thereafter, subjects will record satiety responses at 0 min (immediately post consumption), 20, 40, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 on a visual analog scale (VAS). The subject will answer a series of questions on the VAS at each respective time point describing their feelings of hunger, fullness and desire to eat.

    3 hour post prandial study

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To investigate the effect of pasta formulations and portion size incorporated into a lunch meal on postprandial intestinal phase mechanisms of satiety and meal-associated metabolic response patterns
